[edk2-devel] [Patch 1/1] UefiCpuPkg/Library/MpInitLib: Fix AP VolatileRegisters race condition

Star,
You are right. There is no sequence requirement between FinishedCount++ and NumApsExecuting--.

In fact, I have submitted another bugzilla https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3179.
 
With that Bugzilla, the wait on (FinishedCount == CpuCount - 1) will be removed for the 1st wake up case.

Thanks,
Ray
